Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club and the surrounding Jackson Hole golf market.
Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club traces to a 1958 concept by Paul McCollister, brought to fruition in the late 1960s by Laurance Rockefeller and the Grand Teton Lodge Company; the course itself opened for play in 1963 (originally designed by Bob Baldock), and Rockefeller purchased the club in 1967 before commissioning Robert Trent Jones II to lead a major redesign in 1971. Vail Resorts has owned and operated the club since 1999/2000, investing a reported $15 million in improvements since acquisition, and the club today operates on a semi-private basis -- open to public daily-fee and resort-guest play -- while its standing club membership (which adds pool, fitness, tennis, and dining privileges) is currently sold out, with new members joining a waitlist.
This batch specifically investigated whether the club's residential tie is a genuine developer-driven community or an incidental adjacency, per the research brief's fabrication-risk flag, and found real evidence for the former: the Estates at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis subdivision (Filings 1 & 2) was platted in 1964 as 92 lots directly as part of the original Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis development -- not a later, unrelated neighborhood that happened to grow up nearby. The HOA active today covers 52 of those original lots; separately, after Vail Resorts' acquisition around the turn of the millennium, the company platted 37 additional lots on roughly 30 acres of previously unused course-adjacent development land. Residents of the Estates apply for club membership the same way as any other applicant -- there is no automatic bundling -- but the subdivision's origin as a purpose-built part of the golf development, plus the club's own confirmed current sold-out/waitlist status, together support a `qualifies` outcome on barrier-to-entry grounds with a genuine, if administratively separate, residential tie.
Golf & Course
The course opened in 1963 (Bob Baldock design) and was substantially remodeled by Robert Trent Jones II starting in 1971 under Laurance Rockefeller's ownership. It has hosted notable amateur championships, including the 1988 U.S. Amateur Public Links and 1993 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links, and plays to roughly 7,400 yards.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The club operates on a semi-private basis: golf itself is open to public daily-fee and resort-guest play, while standing club membership (adding pool, fitness, tennis, and dining privileges) is a separate purchase. As of 2026, the club's own membership page and independent tracking (privateIQ) confirm the club is sold out of all available memberships, with prospective members joining a waitlist rather than purchasing directly. No home purchase in the adjacent Estates neighborhood includes or guarantees membership.
